On Twitter, Joe wrote, "I have decided to part ways with @ImpactWrestling. My very best to them moving forward, and my eternal thanks to the fans."
PWInsider.com has confirmed the departure is legitimate, so this isn't a case of Joe being the latest wrestling personality to be hacked on Twitter. The parting was described to us as "amicable."
Joe debuted in TNA in 2005 following an awesome run in ROH. He held every championship TNA had to offer and was one third of the most celebrated match in TNA history, facing AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels at the TNA Unbreakable PPV. Joe also had a lengthy feud with Kurt Angle, leading to Joe's TNA title win at Lockdown 2008.
Of late, Joe had been wrestling as part of MVP's Beatdown Clan.
